I found a recipe for cashew cream cheese a long time ago and was really looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the exact one I had found again. Ugh! Anyway, I looked around the raw online community, which is incredibly awesome by the way, and found a few that I combined and messed with and ended up with the following recipe. I really like it. A lot. I could eat it by the spoonful, which is good since I don't eat bagels. I wouldn't say it tastes exactly like cream cheese but its definitely similar and is creamy, awesome, and of course, easy!

So now that I have this wonderful raw cream cheese, I needed something to do with it. I decided to try out some fun lettuce roll ups and these are my two favorite combos. Play with proportions and ingredients, the possibilities are endless!

Fajita Roll-Ups: mix about a 1/4 teaspoon of fajita seasoning in for every tablespoon of cream cheese. Put that mixture on your lettuce with some tomato, red pepper, and green onions. I actually mixed my cream cheese, seasoning, and veggies into a nice chunky mixture and rolled that up in lettuce, so so so good. : )

I also just made a recipe from the lovely Raw Goddess Heathy. Check out her tomato dressing recipe, yummy!

I've had a busy week experimenting with recipes so stay tuned for some new smoothies, tahini truffles, and vanilla almond cream cheese! Woohoo!
